===Part 1: Using the Linux Shell ===
The Bash shell in Matrix allows you to interact with your Matrix account by issuing commands.
Some Linux commands can be issued by entering the Linux command line without arguments (e.g. '''pwd''', '''date''', '''ls''', '''cal'''),<br>but some Linux commands can be issued with arguments (e.g. '''cal 2002''', '''cd /bin''', '''ls -la''' ).<br><br>
For example:
* The '''ls''' command displays a listing of filenames in the '''current ''' directory* The '''ls /bin''' command displays a listing of filenames in the '''/bin ''' directory (as opposed to your current directory)* The '''ls -l''' command displays a '''detailed ''' listing of filenames in the '''current ''' directory* The '''ls -l /bin''' command displays a details '''detailed''' listing of files in the '''/bin ''' directory
